Dallas TSA Accused of Body-Scanning Women with Attractive Figures

Dallas TSA Accused of Body-Scanning Women with Attractive Figures

Screenings agents at Dallas/Fort Worth airport are being accused of making attractive women go through full-body scanners, according to numerous complaints.

A local CBS affiliate went through more than 500 records of complaints lodged against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and reportedly found “a pattern of women who believe that there was nothing random about the way they were selected for extra screening.”

Ellen Terrell, a Dallas executive IT recruiter, told the news station that she was asked repeatedly to step back into a body scanning machine at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. “I feel like I was totally exposed,” Terrell said. “They wanted a nice good look.”

She also said a female TSA agent commented on her “cute figure.” Terrell says she did not file a formal complaint because she didn’t know she could.

recently teenaged and some acted rather unprofessional for such an important duty. I wonder how much real training they receive and if they have to do follow up training.
